I would also add, make sure you are getting plenty of daily activity. A pedometer can really help..10,000 steps is my new minimum. (I love the FitBit ) Your routine at 21 can be quite a bit different than at 25 in terms of what you do in a day and for me to really get results, I need to make sure I get those steps to know that I am doing a consistent amount of activity per day. Other than that and your eating habits, if the Cathe workouts you have are challenging to you, then I think you will see results from them.

I've never done firm stuff. I was a jogger for 20++ years before recurring injury had me change stuff up. I have done p90x, chalean extreme, turbo fire and jam before I started Cathe in Oct 2012.
I don't usually loose weight unless I eat really clean (which for my southern taste mean dropping my sweet tea and no breads then the pounds and inches fall off. I have never counted calories or anything. I'm a pear shape and high carb high glycemic foods add to my thighs and butts. I use exercise to maintain a low weight. The cutting of certain foods help me to actually loose weight. My genetic sucks! I would suggest also that if you are a "dieter" that sometimes folks don't eat enough and their body holds on to the weight. The other thing is do you like Cathe workouts. I have bought exercise dvd cause they are suppose to be great. I'll do them but just cant put my all into them. I absolutely would quite home dvd if my only choice was Jillian. I have had success with workouts I love. I hated p90x, I've loved Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire. My favorite Cathe are High Step Challenge, Step Pump Jump and the new Xtrain Low Hitt. There are some Cathe dvd that everyone raves about that were duds for me. The old Kick Punch Crunch just didn't get after doing something like Turbo Fire. If you love Firm and got results then just stick with something you love and that half the effort I guess you have an investment in Cathe but she may not be the "one" for you. |

I did the classic Firms for years and felt and looked great. I got a lot of compliments during that time. Then I switched to Cathe because she was more "advanced" and the gold standard of home workouts. I certainly gained in strength and endurance but was not so happy with how I looked. There is no other word for it "bulky". So I switched over to fusion/barre, hi reps, lo weight and walking with Leslie. Much happier with results. You really have to find what works for you and what you can be consistent with doing.
